Tudda & The Redweed Imaginarium is an ‘audio guide sculpture’, describing an impossible sculptural interruption into Teddington Broad Street.

“This they chant, is a Teddington plant
This seed they say, does not need to stay”

Using voice, field recording, and sound, this piece is a narrated description of a sculptural installation that fills the whole street. The audio is accompanied by a text banner designed using digital drawing and text on Photoshop.

The voices in the sculpture offer opposing arguments on a public artwork which is growing like a species of invasive plant. 

The artwork is designed to be able to be placed in different locations and experienced through triggering of augmented reality inside a phone box, in an empty shop, and on a bench. 

Challenging ideas of accessibility in public sculpture and questioing how we approach this by working directly with the audio guide. 

This artwork was developed in association the architecture firm Metropolitan Workshop in Farringdon London.
